A Puppet report handler for sending data from puppet runs to Zabbix.

• open4
• puppet
• zabbix_sender binary (comes with zabbix-agent packages, usually)

• Install the open4 gem on the puppet master.

sudo gem install open4

• Install puppet-zabbix as a module in your puppet master's module path.

• Update the zabbix_host, zabbix_port, and zabbix_sender variables in zabbix.yaml. Copy zabbix.yaml to /etc/puppet.

• Enable pluginsync and reports on your master and clients in puppet.conf.

[main]
report     = true
pluginsync = true

[master]
reports = zabbix

• Run the puppet client to sync the report as a plugin.

• Import the zabbix template in doc/zabbix_template.xml.

• Link the template to hosts managed by puppet. Note that the "technical" host name will need to match the puppet certname (defaults to FQDN) for each host.
